The need to disarm Hezbollah.

Editor,

Condoleezza Rice postulates as self-evident the need to disarm Hezbollah, while the need to disarm Israel, which habitually uses its enormous arsenal to massacre civilians, is obvious. Israel, with its never-ending refusal to negotiate and knee-jerk reliance on force to address political problems, reminds an observer of its prime enabler, George W. Bush.

Israel refused to negotiate with the PLO, refused to negotiate with Arafat, refuses to negotiate with Hamas, refuses to negotiate with Hezbollah. There is always "no one to negotiate with" for Israel, so they kill and kill and kill.
